In carrying out the invention, there is :provided a standard or post1,111eferabl3 supported for rotation, such as by seatingathe lower endof the standard in a socket 2, which can be carried by a case formingthe base of the display rack, and the drawer 4 can be provided in thecase 3 for holding the c'lasps and other articles used in connectionwith astand.

Carried by the standard 1 area plurality of sets of radial arms. Thus,one set of arms can be provided for each style or :price of glove, andasufficient number of arms can be provided in each set for the varioussizes of gloves of .the particular style .or price.

The display rack can be seated on a counter in the store, or elsewhere,for efl'ectively displaying gloves.

The arms, as illustrated, are telescopic or extensible, each embodying aradial tubular section 5 having its inner end secured to the standard 1in any suitable manner,-and slidably receiving an outer section or, rod,6.

. In order to ban a comparatively large number of gloves 0% one sizefrom-each arm,

' there is provided ahanger, bent from wire or other suitable stock, andembodyin elongated. horizontal member 7 dispose below the arm paralleltherewith, and provided at its inner end with an upturned portion 8provided With an eye or loop 8' slidably embracing the section 5 of thearm. 7

The outer end of the member 7 has an upturned portion 9 provided with acoil 10 rigidly embracing the outer end of the see- I tion 6 of'the arm,whereby the hangeris movable with said section 6. The section 6 isnormally slid inwardly within the section 5, thereby moving the hangerunder the section 5, and bringing the gloves adjacent to the standard,and by pulling'tlie section 6 v and hanger outwardly, this moves thecorresponding bunch of gloves outwardly from the rest to aid in theloves being applied to. and removed from .t "e han-gerv The outer end ofthe arms are provided eating t e sizes, 'price, st les, andother in:formation, can be applie to the ends of the ai'm'sfor convenience inmaki'n'g the selection. As illustrated in Fig. 3, the tag holding meansis formed from the wire constitut- 111% the hanger.

hus, from the coil 10, the wire isextended toward one side, as at 11 andis then extended upwardly and bent back to provide a loop 12. From theloop 12, the wire is bent, as at 13, to extend across the rod or section6 to the opposite side, and from the o'rtion 13, thewire is bentupwardly and oub'led to rovide an u standing loop. 14 o posite to t eloop 12. he loops 12 and 14 t us provide a receptacle for a tag 15, andthe upper portions or bends of the oops can be curved slightly away fromone another to receive the tag.

A modified form of tag holding means is illustrated in Fig. 5, the sameembodyin an upnight sheet metal member 13 having ent back flanges 14 atits side edges for receiving the tag in front of the plate 13. Thisplate can be secured upon the section 6 near its free end in anysuitable manner, such as by extending a finger 12' upwardly from thecoil 10 to whichthe plate 13' can be sol dered or otherwise secured.

In figure 4, there is illustrated one of the clasps which are used for aplying the gloves to the hangers. This 0 asp has the pivoted levers 16'versel elon end 0 the g injuring it, tended into a hook rovided with thetrans-. ated aws 17 for gripping the ove in a flat condition, without.
